Corpus Christi Animal Care Services along with PAAC volunteers invite the public, rescue groups, and charitable groups, to attend the Rachel Ray 100K Challenge Event this weekend 08/17 and 08/18 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.
As the end-of-challenge event, adoption fees of all animals will be reduced as follows:
“9 Lives for $9” (all cats)
“Drop a 10 and bring home a friend” ($10 all dogs)
These prices include spay/neuter, city registration, micro chipping, and age appropriate vaccinations.
Included in the weekend event will be family friendly fun and games; bounce house, balloons, hotdogs, dancing and much more. Entry to the event is FREE. Donations of goods will be greatly appreciated. Tangible donations of Fresh-step cat litter, flea collars, and towels are requested. These items are immediately needed to assist with current animals at the shelter.
Beginning Monday, August 12th, 2013, the Corpus Christi Animal Care Services will have new hours of operation for animal adoptions. The new hours will be Monday through Saturday, 11:00am to 5:00pm. All other business will remain at the 1:00pm to 5:00pm hours. This extends shelter hours open to the public through the lunchtime. The shelter will remain closed on Sundays.
Our goal is to gradually extend hours over the next 12 months to 11:00am to 7:00pm. Increasing the hours for animal adoptions will allow the public greater opportunity to adopt homeless animals and learn about CCACS. We are proud to offer these services to the Corpus Christi community.
CCACS encourages the public to visit our facility and view our adoptable cats and dogs.
According to the ASPCA website, the $100K Challenge is a national competition to inspire animal shelters—and those who support them—to go above and beyond to increase pet adoption, reunite lost pets with their families and save more animals’ lives.
CCACS is proud of the community involvement and positive response to the Rachel Ray Challenge. With the dedicated help of PAAC volunteers, Animal Care Services has had approximately 440 adoptions since the kick off. The increase in the number of lives saved in June 2013 compared to the lives saved in June 2012 is approximately 271 dogs in cats. You can see regular updates on their website at http://challenge.aspcapro.org/contestants
PAAC & CCACS host weekend adoptions each weekend. On Saturdays, please visit the shelter at 2626 Holly Rd. from 1:00pm to 4:30pm. On Sundays, please visit Petco, located at 6418 S. Staples St. from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.

When she walked over to the door, she observed a Hispanic male with his face covered. He asked her to open the door and she refused, motioning that she was calling Police.

Date: 7.27.2013
Time: 2:35 a.m.
Location: 4000 SPID (westbound)
Case Numbers: 1307270026, C1305552
Officers were called and responded for a Crash Follow-up at 0235hrs. The investigation indicated that it was a single vehicle, single occupant crash. The vehicle, driven by a 33 year old male, was west bound at a high rate of speed in the left lane. It appears that the driver over-corrected the 1998 Pontiac which then traveled about 300′, jumping the left curb, running through bushes and impacting a concrete pillar. The inertia wedged the car between the pillar and a retaining wall.
The driver did not survive his injuries.

The motorcycle struck the back of the vehicle and the rider was thrown to the roadway. He was not wearing a helmet and struck his head on the pavement. He sustained major head trauma and was transported to Spohn Memorial for treatment. As of this writing, the rider was in critical condition.
